Just some playing around with zdb to get if there are differences between a filesystem or volume and a snapshot.

IPv6 with Strongswan/IPSEC
Assume that you have two nodes one with two IPv4 networks and one with one IPv4 network and each with one IPv6 network and we’d like to have a separate connection for the IPv6 stuff
Trouble with IPv6 and a bridge?
While trying to debug some really weird issue, I’ve noticed that you really really really should use bridge_hw or a pre-up/up/post-up whatever rule to assign a permanent MAC to your bridge.

disable_policy within VE when using OpenVZ with hostside IPSEC
I had a hard time finding why my OpenVZ containers wouldn’t respond to ping-packets which came in through IPSEC. Some guides suggested to use disable_policy – I did without success. A few days later by accident I realized that you need to do that within the VM.

IPsec public ip networks between two hosts using StrongSwan
In one of my previous articles I wrote about an IPSEC transport between two hosts. That was pretty easy to set up (you might take that as basis if you do use this post). All traffic between those two IPs had been encrypted. Now let’s do that for public IP networks instead of just two IPs.

Benchmarks using a SSD to speed up ext4 with external journal and enhanceio
I’ve just made some tests to see how EnhanceIO performs and to see how data=journal and data=ordered perform when using a SSD as external journal device..

Using an external journal with ext4
To speed things up I’ve decided to give an external journal on a SSD a try. Here’s how.

Goodbye OpenVZ and hi there LXC
I’m a long-time OpenVZ user running a few hundred OpenVZ containers and administrating another ~80 at my job for a data center, but actually I am unsure about the OpenVZ 7 thingy. Without even taking a closer look at OpenVZ 7, just by reading the „released“ page, I noticed a few things I don’t like

Linux IPSEC using strongswan
Recently I took a look at some techniques I always wanted to take a look at. IPSEC for example is one of those techniques. Remembering how long it took my work-colleague to setup an ipsec connection I thought this would be a nightmare. Took him a few days to get a working ipsec connection to a customer appliance – seems that had nothing to do with ipsec. The horrible part was the documentation or rather the lack of proper documentation for that specific Peplink appliance. Anyway, here’s how you can setup ipsec pretty simple and fast.
